When idiot Biden stepped into the Israel quagmire, he was too stupid to know Israel/Netanyahu had no intention of resolving anything. American dollars pissed down a bottomless hole. Russia loves an idiot. Putin is too clever for Biden.
As every day goes by it seems more obvious, Trump (as rotten as he is) will be your salvation compared to Biden clown.
Joe Biden & Scott Morrison have one thing in common, a belief in fairies. A fairy is a type of mythical being or legendary creature, generally described as anthropomorphic, found in the folklore of multiple European cultures, a form of spirit, often with metaphysical, supernatural, or preternatural qualities.
US trying to stop ICC issuing Netanyahu arrest warrant despite war crimes advice By SKWAWKBOX (SW)29/04/2024 https://skwawkbox.org/2024/04/29/us...ahu-arrest-warrant-despite-war-crimes-advice/ ‘Non-stop’ diplomatic push to save far-right Israeli PM even though senior US officials have said he’s breaking international law The Biden government is trying to stop the International Criminal Court (ICC) issuing a warrant for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for Israel’s war crimes in Gaza, according to Israeli and international media. Israeli news site Walla has described Netanyahu’s ‘non-stop’ phone calls to the White House to try to get the arrest warrant arrest warrant cancelled and Biden and his pro-Israel fundamentalist Secretary of State Antony Blinken are said to be in agreement – despite ‘senior US officials’, in documents exposed by news agency Reuters, advising Blinken that Israel’s claims not to be committing war crimes with US-made weapons are not ‘credible or reliable’. The ICC has been criticised for the level of US influence on its actions, even though the US is not a signatory to its authority and has previously sanctioned ICC officials for trying to bring US citizens before the court for alleged crimes. Despite this, Netanyahu is said to be in a panic over the prospect of an ICC arrest warrant, which would oblige signatory countries to hold him if he appears on their territory. Many of the airstrikes in Israel’s genocide in Gaza, including devastating attacks on hospitals that killed hundreds of civilians at a time, have been attributed to Israel’s use of US-made ‘Hellfire’ and other missiles. The news of the expected arrest warrant appears to have been ignored by many UK ‘mainstream’ media outlets. The Skwawkbox
Netanyahu Reportedly Worried ICC Is Preparing to Issue Arrest Warrant for Him Israel is reportedly working with the US to head off possible international criminal court warrants for its officials. By Jake Johnson , CommonDreams Published April 29, 2024 https://truthout.org/articles/netan...is-preparing-to-issue-arrest-warrant-for-him/ Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks during a joint press conference with the German chancellor after their meeting in Jerusalem on March 17, 2024. LEO CORREA/POOL / AFP via Getty Images Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly growing increasingly concerned that the International Criminal Court is preparing to issue arrest warrants for him and other top government officials for committing war crimes in the Gaza Strip. The Times of Israel reported Sunday that the Israeli government, in partnership with the U.S., is “making a concerted effort to head off” possible arrest warrants from the ICC, which first launched its war crimes investigation in the occupied Palestinian territories in 2021. Israel does not recognize the ICC’s jurisdiction and has refused to cooperate with the probe. The ICC says it has jurisdiction over Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem. Citing an unnamed Israeli government source, The Times of Israel reported that “a major focus of the ICC allegations will be that Israel ‘deliberately starved Palestinians in Gaza.'” Other officials who could face arrest warrants are Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi. The Times of Israel’s reporting came shortly after Israeli journalist Ben Caspit wrote that Netanyahu is “under unusual stress” over the possibility of arrest warrants and is leading a “nonstop push over the telephone” to forestall ICC action.
The Biden administration is rotten to the core. They cease aid immediately to UNWRA on a rumour of Hamas involvement. They continue with military weapons aid to Israel despite NUMEROUS accusations of war crimes commited by them.
Opinion Pro-Palestinian student protests in the US aren't going to leave Biden unscathed As repression against student demonstrators continue, their effect on the presidential election is growing evident JAMES ZOGBY https://www.thenationalnews.com/opi...-the-us-arent-going-to-leave-biden-unscathed/ Protests of university students in the US against America’s support for Israel’s war in Gaza have spread like wildfire. There have been sustained demonstrations on more than 200 campuses. More recently, students have taken to establishing protest encampments in the centre of some campuses. This began last week at Columbia University in New York. Ten days later there were encampments at almost four dozen universities. What’s been most striking is not only the way this effort has spread, but also the amazing diversity of the students involved in the demonstrations. There are Arab-American students, to be sure, who’ve been joined by fellow students of every race and creed. The leadership of the protesting students have been disciplined and eloquent in their demands for a ceasefire and an end to the genocide in Gaza. Many have also called on their universities to divest funds from entities contributing to the Israeli war effort. A pro-Palestinian encampment at Columbia University in New York City last week. AFP The protesters were peaceful, though purposefully disruptive. At times they’ve occupied central locations on campus. They’ve also chanted, as demonstrators are wont to do. Yet, as noted by respected observers, who’ve visited the sites, the protests have been peaceful and orderly. Goaded by Republican congressional leadership and a few pro-Israel Jewish organisations, there’s been an effort to paint these demonstrations as anti-Semitic and a threat to the safety of Jewish students. The members of Congress have latched on to this, exploiting it as a wedge issue and portraying the protesting students as liberal elites, captive to anti-Israel groups. Pro-Israel counter-protesters display Israeli flags near a pro-Palestine demonstration at the University of California Los Angeles last week. Reuters Both the Republican leadership and the small but influential group of Jewish leaders have used their respective platforms to repeatedly argue that chants used by some of the students are inherently anti-Semitic. For example, they’ve said that “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is actually a call to commit genocide against Jews in Israel. They recently passed a Congressional resolution making that very point. Using such deliberately distorted interpretations of the slogans used by the students in support of Palestinians, they've pressured some university presidents to resign and have made life uncomfortable for others. It is a dangerous miscalculation for the Biden White House to dismiss polls showing the President losing support among young and 'minority' voters What’s been ignored is that in most of the encampments, a disproportionately large number of the protesters are Jewish students. Ironically, while one Jewish leader was advising Jewish students at Columbia University to stay home and not come to campus because it was unsafe for them and was urging New York’s governor to call in National Guard units to restore order on campus, the Jewish students in the encampment were holding an interfaith Passover Seder. Later, New York City police were ordered on to campus to disband the encampment. This was followed by similar police actions in Texas, California and Georgia where disturbing levels of violence (tear gas, rubber bullets, tasers and baton beatings) were used against the peaceful protesters. Instead of dampening the students’ commitment to continue the protests, the actions by the police, elected officials and university administrators have hardened their resolve of protesters. And so, the day after the encampments were forcibly disbanded, the students returned, re-establishing their protest sites. A tent is sprayed with a message in solidarity with pro-Palestinian university students, in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, last week. Reuters With the ire of the young directed not only at Israel’s behaviour in Gaza, but also at how the Biden administration has enabled this war to continue, the way these campus protests are playing out does not bode well for the President during this election year. Comparisons are being made to the 1968 anti-Vietnam War protests and the role they played in costing Democrats the presidency. Having been a participant in the protest politics, both in that period and the current one, I can attest to the similarities, as well as some important differences. Students protest in Washington in April 1965 against US participation in the Vietnam War. AP Vietnam was the first war that was televised, bringing it into American homes. Americans saw the impact of napalm on civilians and learnt of the use of torture against prisoners. In addition to opposition to the war for moral or political reasons, there was the more personal and unsettling concern of the national draft that required young people to register for military service. The Vietnam era was also a time of broad national ferment that witnessed the emergence of several other protest movements: civil rights, environmental concerns, women’s rights, and so on. There was limited overlap in the participation in these diverse movements. Today is different. There is a significant overlap in the movements for women’s rights, black empowerment, environmental justice and now, opposition to Israel’s war in Gaza. And because of the impact of social media, today’s young people, whom my brother John Zogby calls “the first globals”, are experiencing the war in Gaza non-stop, up close and personal, and are deeply disturbed by what they are seeing. There were no Vietnamese students on campuses in the 1960s, but today empowered and organised Arab-American and progressive American-Jewish students have taken the lead in mobilising opposition to Israel’s Gaza war – with the former saying: “Not to our people”, and the latter saying: “Not in our name.” Because they have found allies in the other movements in which they too were participants, the anti-war effort has grown. Through it all, the Biden White House has demonstrated only limited concern, apparently convinced that they’ll weather this storm and still defeat Donald Trump in November. They dismiss polls showing the President losing support among young and “minority” voters. This is a dangerous miscalculation. As primary elections in several states have demonstrated, there is a haemorrhaging of support for the President’s re-election. And as repression against student demonstrators continues, that opposition is solidifying. Should the war continue for several more months and the scene at this summer’s Democratic Convention in Chicago be as ugly as it was in 1968, many young voters will be hard-pressed to vote for Mr Biden. They won’t vote for Mr Trump. Most likely they’ll either vote for a third party or not at all.
Exclusive Attorneys inside and outside the administration urge Biden to cut off arms to Israel So far more than 90 lawyers have signed on to a legal letter alleging Israel’s conduct in Gaza violates U.S. and international law.

They plan to send a letter arguing their case to Attorney General Merrick Garland and general counsels across the administration in the coming days. In the letter, obtained by POLITICO, the lawyers contend that Israel likely violated U.S. statutes including the Arms Export Control Act and Leahy Laws as well as the Geneva Conventions prohibiting disproportionate attacks on civilian populations. The group that drafted the letter includes current attorneys from the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department. While the letter is still circulating for signatures, so far more than 90 lawyers have signed on, including from the departments of Justice, Labor and Energy, along with lawyers at the European Commission and in the private sector. It’s the latest sign of dissent inside the administration over its Israel policy. It also comes at a key time — a week before the White House faces a May 8 deadline to certify to Congress that its ally’s military actions involving American-supplied weapons adhere to U.S. or international law. Over the weekend, Reuters reported that some senior U.S. officials told Secretary of State Antony Blinken in an internal memo that they doubt the credibility of Israel’s assurances on the use of U.S. supplied weapons in line with international law. And in February, more than 800 officials in the U.S. and abroad signed an open letter of dissent over their government’s support for Israel’s war in Gaza. The lawyers argue that civil servants have a duty to give advice free from improper political direction, and cite indiscriminate bombardment of the besieged enclave resulting in high civilian casualties, the strikes on aid convoys and bombings of schools and hospitals as examples of violations. “The law is clear and aligned with the majority of Americans who believe the U.S. should cease arms shipments to Israel until it stops its military operation in Gaza,” the letter states, citing polling showing most Biden supporters want an arms embargo imposed.
